Here's a short comparison to determine whether or not you should get a real tree.

Real vs Faux

Real

Live trees support American farmers

Real trees need to be watered

Real trees make your home smell like fresh evergreen

Tree farms support the maintenance of green space and preserve some natural habitat

Real trees shed their needles over time

You spend more time at the tree farm picking out the perfect tree for your home

If you grow up with real trees, you can connect memories with the smell of evergreen

Real trees can be

Faux

Faux trees mainly are imported from overseas

Faux trees require no maintenance

Artificial trees don't change the smell in your home

Fake trees are only for our enjoyment.

Fake trees don't shed, but the "needles" can rip off quite easily sometimes, but won't on their own.

You spend the time finding your favorite tree one time, and that's it.

Fake trees provide a less memorable experience.

Plastic trees don't biodegrade

In either case, choosing one or the other doesn't make you good or bad. My family used to get real trees every year, and now that everyone is getting older, it's just easier to use a fake tree. Merry Christmas and happy holidays!
